Vehicle Description
This well-priced 2006 Chevrolet SSR is the exact kind of future
classic you want. After all, it's the more powerful V8 model done
in a timelessly attractive package. And this loaded and unique
machine is a verified part of the final production run. So its
rarity is a guarantee.
The SSR was only around for a short time, and the 2006 final
production year was not even a full run. There was a small batch of
about 825 examples that was the SSR's final chapter, and the VIN
verifies that this one was a part of it. So if you're looking for
collectability, you've found it here. The SSR may have been based
on the post-war Advance Design pickups, but this modern tale was
all about sleekness. The front end looks shaped by the wind, the
fenders are like rounded waves, the nitrated tonneau makes for a
smooth full rear, and Chevy took extra time making everything look
flush in the rear. Basically, when these were done in silver, it
had the sleekness of a silver bullet. That's probably why the
factory paint has a name like Ricochet Silver. The odometer is
believed to reflect the full actual mileage, and so this one has
been driven and responsibly enjoyed. That's likely an ideal setup
for you. It means you can pick up one of the best prices on a
final-run SSR and fully experience how fun the drop-top pickup
drive really is. And as this can leave room in your budget if you
want to raise this to a show-level presentation later on as it
continues to mature into an appreciated classic.
What makes the SSR particularly special is the way the rounded roof
basically disappears without a trace behind the flush-fitting
tonneau. It reveals a dark and loaded interior. The black inside is
one of the best looking against the exterior silver, and the
waterfall of color in-between the bucket seats really proves the
appeal of this combo. So this is a great one to enjoy with the top
down. The SSR was expensive when new, and so it came loaded from
the factory with great modern amenities, like leather upholstery,
power seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm,
cruise control, anti-lock brakes, dual front airbags, side airbags,
power steering, a tilt steering column, and a premium AM/FM/CD
stereo. Plus, cold-blowing air conditioning means you and your
passenger can stay comfortable with the top down well into the
summer. And while this was meant to be a retro-cool pickup, the
fully sealed bed is nicely lined so it can do some real work or
just be used as a big trunk for your weekend golf getaway.
Not only does the final year make this a collectible, but also
another reason why you want a 2006 model is because the V8 was the
larger 6.0-liter LS2 unit. This fuel-injected motor offered a
healthy boost in power. So it's great to have this example looking
so maintained and respected. The four-speed automatic transmission
is a stout unit built to handle this V8's power, and at the same
time, it provides silky-smooth shifts all the way into overdrive.
So while this was built to look like a truck, this also was made to
drive like a muscle machine. That's why you have tubular control
arms on the rear suspension and a rear sway bar. Plus, Bilstein
shocks and four-wheel power disc brakes are pure sports car
fun.
Complete with the owner's manual, this is a Texas truck with a
great driving style and a ton of future classic appeal. Call
